I can definitely say it's strong and sharp enough to cut through a potato. The only issue would be that you'd have to use either smaller potatoes in general, or go through the tedium of double-cutting, lining up the cutter with subsequent cuts if the potato is too large. Strength/sharpness have not been an issue at all with this fun little tool!

I have cut sweet potatoes with mine. However, I would suggest having it bolted solid on a wall or counter. You will really have to put some muscle behind it. I would recommend using a 70 count or smaller potato. The case of 50 count potatoes I cut was hard on the shoulders.

Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit. I cut sweet potatoes for custom dog food that I make and I have never gotten through a batch (20lbs) with out having to poke jammed potatoes from the blade. Patience and you'll be good. When I make large batchs (40+ lbs of potatoes) I use a hand French Fry Cutter / Potato Cutter as it is far easier with out the jam issue. I have the Nemco 56450A-1 - Monster FryKutter - Tabletop Mount. I have it mounted on a wall in the garage (Vertically) as this is easier for me to press down using my body strength for more leverage. Works like a charm. Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit.

3 1/8 x 3 1/8 x 1/2 inches works great. had to dig it out to measure it. fried potatoes yesterday. easy change out blades to smaller cuts also very easy. worth it. :)

6mm However you can use adjustable slicer, slicing desired thickness then stack and cut the opposite way and you have French fries your size.

I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. However, the biggest problem with slicing potatoes isn't the hardness of the potato but the diameter.

my potato cooker can hold 4 med size so from end to end its 11 by 6. if you just want to cook a potato you can cook with out this cooker depending on the size a plate will do the same thing5-8min.

I'm sure you could with a smaller potato. Otherwise you could try a mandolin :)

It, of course, depends on how wide you cut the pieces, I would say about 12 to 16 slices.

The maximum length of a cut is 2.75 inches. When fully open, they are not quite 90 degrees.

It depends on the diameter of the vegetable you're slicing but the product photo is accurate for a small to medium potato (16-19 chips)

This slicer is a very good size, larger than it appears in the product photo. I would say you can slice just about everything with ease. I use it primarily to slice sweet potatos and it works great -- slices right through like soft butter. Absolutely amazing! If you plan to use it for cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, etc., the size is more than adequate, you shouldn't have any problem at all. The body is definitely not too narrow. It's a great product. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Imagine it would depend how wide the cut is. I've had pork shoulders in that big.

yes, you can cut whatever size you want if you have a nice sharp blade knife or scissors.

this is the regular size, and there is larger size which is about 20% larger than the regular. You can slice some "large" vegetables, like eggplants, sweet potatoes, yams, cassava, large carrots, plantains, and stuff like this, but depending on the size of the vegetable itself, you might need to trim the sides to fit in the slicer. Mine is the regular size, and I never had problems.

I have never cut any potatoes with mine but I think the answer would be no. It has 2 slicing blades but I think all they would do is slice it into something like a chip. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
